Definitions

• This invention relates to antifouling coating compositions having a long-term antifouling capability. More particularly, it relates to coating compositions which can be applied to underwater structures (e.g., ships, harbor facilities, buoys, pipe lines, bridges, submarine stations, submarine oil well excavation units, power plant water conduits, fish culture nets and fixed shore nets) to form antifouling coatings which are effective for preventing aquatic organisms from depositing and growing on structure surfaces. It also relates to an underwater structure using the composition.
• underwater structures e.g., ships, harbor facilities, buoys, pipe lines, bridges, submarine stations, submarine oil well excavation units, power plant water conduits, fish culture nets and fixed shore nets
• Paint compositions which are effective for preventing deposition and growth of aquatic organisms, but free of toxic antifouling agents. Paint compositions which are designed to impart antifouling property by reducing the surface tension of coatings include non-toxic antifouling paint compositions comprising room temperature-curable silicone rubber compositions and liquid paraffin or petrolatum (see JP-A 58-13673 and JP-A 62-84166 ). Japanese Patent Nos.
• non-toxic antifouling paint compositions comprising a reaction curable silicone resin composition and a less compatible, non-reactive, polar group-containing silicone resin wherein under the impetus of volume shrinkage associated with curing of the reaction curable silicone resin, the polar group-containing silicone resin bleeds out of the surface, which cooperates with the low surface tension of curable silicone resin, to exhibit antifouling property.
• non-toxic antifouling paint compositions use a polyoxyethylene group-containing silicone resin having ethylene oxide or propylene oxide added to a silicon atom via a C-C bond or a silicone resin having an alkoxy group bonded to a silicon atom at a molecular end via an ethylene oxide or propylene oxide group as the less compatible, non-reactive, polar group-containing silicone resin. Coatings of these compositions exert antifouling property by utilizing the oil bleeding phenomenon that the silicone oil bleeds out of the coating. Since the antifouling property largely depends on the release with time of silicone oil or active ingredient, the coatings suffer a substantial loss of antifouling property after the release of active ingredient ceases. It is then difficult for the coatings to maintain an antifouling capability over a long period of time.
• An object of the present invention is to provide new and useful antifouling coating compositions having a long-term antifouling capability, methods of using them, and underwater structures coated with them.

Compositions were coated thereon and kept at 23°C and 50% RH for 7 days, during which they cured into films of 300 ⁇ m thick, completing test specimens. In a suspension test, the specimens were suspended at a depth of 1.5 m in seawater offshore Kanagawa, Japan for 24 months. The deposition of sea organisms including shells (e.g., barnacle) and seaweed on the specimens was observed. The specimens were rated as follows.
